At the Beijing Railway Station, the triplets were all wearing white shirts and imitation green military pants. Their hair was shaved short by Liu Meiyun. They looked handsome, with fair skin, and walked with their heads held high. They were all very energetic and stood out in the crowded crowd.
Nowadays, it is not uncommon for a family to have three children, but it is rare for all three to be raised to look so pure and energetic.
Liu Meiyu didn't bother to pay attention to other people's looks. She carried a bag with her and found an empty space at the station, waiting for Lu Changzheng to come back with his ticket.
Originally, Liu Meiyu had no intention of bringing Lu Changzheng, let alone the triplets, on this trip to Shanghai.
But this man, I don’t know if it’s because he started to be pretentious after he turned 30, he has become even clingier than Dabao and the others.
Last time she went to Guangzhou, this time she returned to Shanghai. Anyway, as long as she left the capital, Lu Changzheng could always quickly take leave and go with her.
Due to the tight schedule, only hard seats were left when Lu Changzheng went to buy tickets. He didn't feel sorry for his three sons, but he was afraid that his wife would feel uncomfortable if she sat for too long.
"It's a hard seat, let's hurry in." Liu Meiyu urged after taking the ticket.
It's only one day anyway, after a good night's sleep it will be almost here by this time tomorrow.
"Dad, I like hard seats!" Lu Xiaobao was still happy.
Every time he took a train, he was in a sleeper compartment, and he always wanted to go to the hard seat compartment to see what was going on.
Lu Changzheng ignored his silly son, helped his wife carry her bag, and led the way to the ticket gate.
In the days when the only trains for long journeys were green-skinned trains, Liu Meiyu had gained experience in squeezing into trains. Now, the three brothers Dabao don't have to worry too much. They can squeeze to the front by themselves, one by one pulling another. Liu Meiyu only needs to keep an eye on them, and they have their uncle to drive and escort them. It is much less stressful than a few years ago when they had to carry one child on their backs or in their arms when traveling long distances, and they were in a rush and had no time to use both pairs of eyes.
Yeah, it’s easy to quarrel.
"Lu Erbao, you stepped on my shoes!" Dabao pushed his younger brother away, and looked down to see several footprints on his brand new little white shoes, all of which were left when he was squeezed just now.
"I'm sorry, it's not like I was the only one who stepped on it." Lu Erbao apologized perfunctorily.
Originally, he had been squeezed into a meat pie, so why would he care about his shoes? Didn't you see several shoe prints on his feet?
"Hurry up, you two, don't get lost. Uncle and Xiaobao have already gone to the front." Liu Meiyu urged.
The two brothers looked at each other, then hurriedly held hands and followed, not caring whether their shoes were dirty or not.
They finally squeezed into the hard seat carriage. The aisle was filled with woven bags of all sizes, fertilizer bags, bamboo baskets, and plastic buckets. The various sweat smells in the air drifted in with the breeze from the train window. The crying and cursing of children were heard in their ears. Although Liu Meiyu could not adapt well, she was not that squeamish. There was no need for Lu Changzheng to look back worriedly after every two steps, or to hold her hand tightly.
"Sister, brother-in-law, our seats are here!" Liu Bowen quickly found the seat numbers and took Dabao and the others over to settle them down.
The entire row of seats was occupied by their family, so it was quite convenient as there were no strangers around and they could move around as they wanted.
"Mom and I will sit here, you three can go to the opposite side."
Lu Changzheng mercilessly pushed his three sons aside so that he could sit next to his wife.
Dabao refused to move, "No, I want to sit next to mommy, she smells good."
"Then I want to sit next to mommy, too!" Erbao joined in the fun.
Xiaobao didn't make any noise, but sat in his seat obediently, with a bag of number cookies in his hand, which was a reward from his uncle for being obedient and trying hard to squeeze into the train just now.
"You three should go sit across from me. Your dad and I will sit here."
After Liu Meiyu spoke, Lu Changzheng righteously asked his son to sit opposite him.
It was the first time for the three brothers to sit in a hard seat carriage. They squeezed into each other and thought it was quite fun. They stared at the people coming and going on the train with their big round eyes and asked questions one after another.
Fortunately, with their uncle around to act as an encyclopedia, Liu Meiyun and Lu Changzheng could hide away for a while and be lazy.
After a while, Dabao, Erbao and Xiaobao whispered a few words to each other. They saw their mother sleeping on their father's shoulder and their uncle engrossed in reading a book. The three brothers jumped off their seats and moved quietly to the outside.
Lu Changzheng stopped and asked in a low voice, "Where are you going?"
Erbao grabbed his pants and said, "Dad, I need to pee."
"I'll take you there." Bowen put down his book and was about to stand up, but Dabao stopped him: "We want to go by ourselves. It's not far. I saw it all when I came over just now."
Xiaobao nodded: "Yes, we can go by ourselves."
The triplets thought that it was just going to the toilet and there was no need to go through so much trouble. They were adults already and could just go by themselves.
Lu Changzheng disagreed: "Let your uncle take you there, don't run around."
When Liu Bowen took the triplets to the restroom, Liu Meiyun sat up and urged Lu Changzheng: "You should go with them. How can Bowen take care of three kids by himself?"
Lu Changzheng stood up as soon as he received the order, and only said in a low voice: "They are all so big now, we can't lose them."
There's a bunch of big guys blogging with him, what can possibly happen?
However, it was only a few steps across and down, and when Lu Changzheng saw that his wife was no longer leaning on his shoulder, he stood up and followed her, took the kettle and brought back another pot of hot water.
Liu Meiyun was not worried that the triplets would get lost, but she was worried about the people on the train.
In the early 1980s, when public security was not so good, there were all kinds of people on the trains. If you encountered a "prostitute" who was good at using tricks, not to mention a child who had just become sensible, even a girl of 17 or 18 years old would disappear on the train.
"Girl, are you alone?"
Liu Meiyu watched the father and son go for a long time, and guessed that there were too many people queuing, so she stared at the dark night view outside the window boredly, and suddenly she heard a woman's voice coming from the side.
